I'm sure whatever machine you have to put in them that they will function and perform very well. I am glad that I was able to make a horn to fit Ronnie's cabinet. Credit also has to go to Greg Cline for his remarkable wood graining work.
Ken are the two cabinets different sizes besides looking a little different. I'm wondering if that's why they have different model numbers 740 top picture and 742 bottom picture. That could explain why the top picture shows a Home and the bottom picture shows a Triumph.

If you look at the advertisement it says the 740 holds 140 cylinders and the 742 holds 196 cylinders so there most certainly be a difference in size.

How was this horn made? Does it require the use of papier-mache, or another technique?

Thanks!

The horn shape and design reminds me of the horn I posted on here a while ago - could it be from one of these cabinets ?
